NHTSA stops self-driving shuttles after accidents cause review.

Bloomberg Government (10/24) reports that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s decision to review “its procedures for permitting self-driving vehicles on public roads” has led to a moratorium on self-driving shuttles. The review was prompted after “several deadly crashes involving vehicles equipped with self-driving systems, including the Uber crash that killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Ariz. earlier this year.” After complaints from self-driving companies, the NHTSA has “created a group to manage the process, instead of just one person.”
